Christmas Countdown
Kids draw a surprise behind each door of this calendar. Every day seems like Christmas as they get closer to the holiday.
1. Use Crayola® Total Tools™ Ultimate Cutter™, to trim off the flap of a recycled file folder.
2. Use Crayola Metallic FX Crayons to draw a Christmas tree, or some other holiday symbol, on the front. Draw 25 doors to represent the days in December leading up to and including Christmas.
3. Number the days and decorate the doors with Crayola Washable Markers.
4. Open the file folder. Use the Total Tools™ Ultimate Cutter™ to cut each door on three sides.
5. Glue a sheet of construction paper to the inside back of the folder with a Crayola Glue Stick. Glue the inside edges of the folder closed on the construction paper.
6. Inside each door, draw or write a holiday surprise, sentiment, or tradition. Close all the doors.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
